The Jeremy Boreing Show

The Trump administration has now released three tranches of declassified UAP files — 294 documents in five weeks. The Pentagon website hosting the files has received over 1.7 billion hits. Among the files is military sensor footage of objects demonstrating capabilities no known aircraft can replicate. The President calls it evidence of extraterrestrial life. His Vice President has a different theory: he thinks UFOs are actually demons. Steven Spielberg, on the other hand, says his new film about government alien cover-ups isn't science fiction. Everybody has an answer. Almost nobody is asking the right question. The right question isn't what the phenomena are. It's why we see what we see — why every age in human history has looked at unexplained lights in the sky and found confirmation of whatever it already believed. Angels in the ancient world. Demons in the medieval world. Secret weapons in World War II. Extraterrestrials in the Space Age. The phenomena didn't change. The cultural lens did. Jeremy argues that both dominant explanations — the alien hypothesis and the demonic hypothesis — are wrong, and wrong in exactly the same way: both strip human beings of their agency, their genius, and their God-given centrality in the story. One calls the powers benevolent. The other calls them malevolent. But in both cases, we are not the authors of our own history. That's not a Christian position. It's not a conservative one. And it's not true. Jeremy gets into: — Why the extraterrestrial hypothesis collapses under the very science that seems to support it, and what the actual UAP files most likely show — How our cultural operating system — built by 80 years of science fiction cinema — shapes what we see before we've processed what we're looking at — Why Tucker Carlson's demonic interpretation of UAP phenomena isn't drawn from Scripture — and what the Bible actually says about how spiritual forces operate — The reverse-engineering lie at the heart of Disclosure Day, and why attributing human technological achievement to alien or demonic sources is an insult to every scientist, engineer, and builder in history — What chronological snobbery is, why every age thinks it finally has the right answers, and why ours is no different — The biblical mandate for human agency, stewardship, and dominion — and why "someone else is running the world" has always been the oldest escape from responsibility 0:03 — The Government Releases Its UFO Files 2:21 — Aliens or Demons?

American greatness has enemies. Some are foreign — a nuclear deal struck in secret, terms the public hasn’t seen, a 60-day window before we find out whether the framework holds. Some are civilizational — a 219-page parliamentary inquiry confirming that at least 250,000 girls were systematically raped across the UK while institutions looked away, paralyzed by fear of being called racist. And some are internal — a fractured Right that can’t agree on what it’s trying to conserve, or whether it’s worth conserving at all. This week, we watched as thousands of foreign visitors attended the World Cup in America and were dazzled by our beautiful country. It was a wholesome reminder of what we’re fighting for, and what we lose if the enemies of the West win. Tonight, Jeremy Boreing is joined by Katie Pavlich, Karol Markowicz, and Bethany Mandel to name the threats, connect the threads, and ask the question that runs underneath all of it: what does it actually take to protect and preserve what makes America worth defending? Jeremy gets into: The Iran MOU — what’s in it, what’s contradicted, what Israel wasn’t told, and why the Senate’s silence matters The UK rape gang inquiry: 219 pages, at least 149 local authority districts, and institutions that chose self-protection over the safety of children The thread connecting both stories — and why Jeremy names it directly What the World Cup is revealing: millions of Europeans discovering America for the first time and loving what they find The broader question: what does it take for the American Right to preserve and advance what’s worth preserving — in its current fractured state? Katie Pavlich hosts Katie Pavlich Tonight on NewsNation and is the author of the New York Times bestseller Fast and Furious. Karol Markowicz is a columnist for the New York Post and co-host of the Karol Markowicz Show. Bethany Mandel is a conservative columnist and homeschooling mother of six. Together, Karol and Bethany are the co-authors of Stolen Youth, a national bestseller published by The Daily Wire. 00:00 Introduction 00:51 UK Rape Gang Report: 250,000 Victims 04:50 Iran Deal: Snatching Defeat From Victory? 09:14 Iran, Drones, and America's Military Readiness 13:22 Can Israel Even Agree to This Deal? 17:37 JD Vance, 2028, and the Soul of MAGA 27:37 Charlie Kirk's Betrayal and the Big Tent Problem 35:11 What MAGA Actually Stands For 41:23 Tucker vs. Shapiro: The Real Disagreement Is America 47:17 The Woke Right, Catholicism, and Ends Justify the Means 57:22 Could UK Rape Gangs Happen in America? 1:02:59 Expert Culture, Therapy, and Anti-American Thinking 1:09:17 Birth Rates, Bad Ideas, and the Anti-Natalist Lie 1:23:13 Therapy Culture Is Anti-God and Anti-American 1:32:38 Europeans Discover Real America at the World Cup 1:38:08 Trad Larping, Gen Z, and Finding the Real Future

Congress just handed a conspiracy theory a credential it will never lose. On Monday, on the 59th anniversary of the USS Liberty attack, Thomas Massie — a lame-duck congressman with nothing left to lose — stood on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and entered an antisemitic conspiracy theory into the Congressional Record. The claim: that Israel deliberately murdered American sailors in 1967, and that the U.S. government covered it up. That claim has lived for decades in the fever swamps of fringe blogs and crackpot influencers. Now it lives in the Congressional Record forever. That same week: President Trump resumed strikes on Iran after an American Apache helicopter was downed, and already Alex Jones and others on the conspiratorial Right are suggesting its a false flag operation by Israel. And a jury in Collin County convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder — and the social feeds filled immediately leftists are demanding his release along racial lines, while Nick Fuentes is calling for whites to mirror that same racial solidarity. The left and the dissident right are not opposites. They are competing brands of the same product — despair, blame, and the conviction that the only way forward is to burn it down. The left packages it as systemic oppression. The dissident right packages it as stolen greatness. The destination is the same: a person who has surrendered his agency to whichever movement most convincingly tells him he was wronged. But Jeremy believes we can build a better future. Not as a naive refusal to see the problems — but as the conviction, grounded in faith, that your choices still matter, that building is still possible, and that the future belongs to those who build it. Tonight, Jeremy is joined by the team making that case from the inside. Jeremy gets into: --Why Massie's USS Liberty speech is more dangerous than its content — and what the venue tells you about where the dissident right is heading --The convergence of the left and the dissident right: same ideology, different packaging --Why Jeremy launched this show — not because he wanted a podcast, but because an object in motion is more generative than an object at rest --How Boreing Media thinks about AI, editorial standards, and building institutions that don't drift toward audience capture --What the conservative movement actually has to do in the next two years to avoid handing power back to the left Guests: Alyssa Cordova (Executive Producer, The Jeremy Boreing Show), Jon Lewis (President, Boreing Media), Joel Berry (Senior Producer, The Jeremy Boreing Show; former Managing Editor, The Babylon Bee) 00:00 Introduction – USS Liberty, Thomas Massey & the Dissident Right 02:16 Carmelo Anthony Verdict & the Left-Right Convergence 03:49 Jeremy's Story: Leaving The Daily Wire & Starting Over 06:41 Why Jeremy Launched This Show 08:01 The Conservative Movement in Crisis 09:15 Meet the Team: John Lewis, Joel Berry & Alyssa Cordova 17:03 What Makes the Daily Wire Different: A Culture of Winning 23:49 Mission Over Role: Rightly Ordering Your Priorities 28:29 Work as Worship: The Protestant Work Ethic & Calling 36:28 Parasocial Relationships – Good, Bad & the President Parallel 47:22 Every Job Has a Mission – Plumbers, Tombstone Sellers & Sandwich Makers 01:02:57 AI, Filmmaking & the Future of Media 01:09:46 Breaking Down the Team's Daily Reality 01:22:31 Audience Q&A: Where Does the Political Chaos End? 01:37:52 Audience Q&A: Husband, Wife & Competing Callings 02:02:57 Audience Q&A: Thoughts on AI Filmmaking 02:18:36 Audience Q&A: What Matters Most in Friendship 02:37:01 The Bent Key – Debunking a Fan Conspiracy Theory

The Southern Poverty Law Center calls it a myth. Most American institutions act as if it doesn't exist. But Noah Rothman's case is that the United States is in the middle of its third major wave of left-wing political violence in the last century — and the polling, the assassinations, and the institutional response all tell the story of a society losing the social taboo that has historically held this kind of violence in check. Jeremy is joined by Noah Rothman — Senior Writer at National Review, columnist, and author of three books, including the brand-new Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence, alongside The Rise of the New Puritans and Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America. Noah is one of the few Trump-skeptical voices on the right who has continued to keep his eyes locked on the threat from the left even as conservative media has, in some quarters, drifted toward its own conspiracies and grievances. They get into: the three historical waves of left-wing violence in America — the anarchist and socialist violence of the 1910s and 1920s, the Marxian guerrilla movements of the late 1960s, '70s, and '80s, and the wave we are inside of right now; why the SPLC and most academic databases of "political violence" double-count prison fights and homeless-person epithets to manufacture a top-line that the right is uniquely violent; the rhetorical tactic Noah calls "the pregnant 'but'" — how Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and Chris Murphy all condemned Brian Thompson's murder and then immediately appended a "but" justifying it; the Charlie Kirk assassination and the institutional left's largely respectful response versus the campus and online cheering, the Saturday Night Live applause for the name Luigi Mangione, and the conspiracy ecosystem on the dissident right (Candace Owens, Ian Carroll, and the Epstein-pedophile-class framings) that now exists in symmetry with it; the Network Contagion Research Institute polls showing 50% of self-identified left-of-center Americans say it is at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk, and 56% say the same about Donald Trump; the three publicly known attempts on Trump's life and Norah O'Donnell asking the President on CBS to respond to his would-be killer's manifesto; January 6 and the BLM 2020 riots as comparative case studies in mob violence, the blanket pardons issued by both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and why blanket pardons are never a good idea; Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn — the Weather Underground revolutionaries who killed people, never went to prison, and got tenure at major universities — and Alexander Berkman, Howard Zinn, and the Marxian intellectual lineage that fed them; Helen Andrews's "feminization of society" thesis and whether the rise of female representation in hegemonic left-wing institutions tracks with the rise in intolerance and willingness to censor; the strange evolution by which Marxists became Pan-Arab Baathists became Islamists, the Red-Green Alliance, and Jason Burke's The Revolutionists as the international companion text; the Sarah Milgrom and Yaron Lischinsky shooting in Washington and the textbook Marxian writings of Elias Rodriguez; the Soviet-era "Zionology" academic project that invented most of the anti-Israel narratives that now circulate on college campuses (white settler colonialism, brown-South genocide, rape as a weapon of war); two "cellphone moments" America is failing to reckon with — COVID accountability, foreclosed when Trump became the 2024 nominee, and the Charlie Kirk assassination, foreclosed by the dissident right's choice to build conspiracies instead of confronting left-wing violence; Tucker Carlson, the Catholic integralists, and the rise of "rhetorical statue-toppling" on the right; and Noah's recommendations on what actually works — civic education, law-enforcement modeling, and the patient, unglamorous restoration of the social taboo around political violence. 01:02 Is America Living Through a Wave of Left-Wing Violence? 02:13 The SPLC Calls It a Myth 06:17 The Three Waves: Anarchists, Marxian Guerrillas, and Now 08:27 The Psychology of Political Violence 10:27 Luigi, Brian Thompson, and the Permission Structure 13:06 How the Databases Erase Left-Wing Violence 43:45 What Ended the Last Two Waves 47:15 Why Wealth and Education Make Us More Vulnerable 01:14:40 How the Right Is Blowing Its Own Moment on Charlie Kirk 01:33:47 What Can Actually Be Done

Evangelicals voted 82-17 for Trump in 2024, made up 27% of the electorate, and provided the decisive single-bloc margin in the national vote — for the third consecutive election. Without them, the Left wins. But American evangelicalism is under attack from every direction. The Left is trying to co-opt it — Hillary Clinton in The Atlantic, Andy Beshear laundering leftism through Bible Belt language, and Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico telling Joe Rogan's audience that God supports abortion and is nonbinary. The dissident right's "Christ is King" movement is trying to fracture it from within. And decades of seeker-sensitive church culture have left millions of Christians biblically illiterate — easy targets for all of the above. Can traditional American evangelicalism survive? And can this essential voting bloc hold together? That's tonight's question. Joining Jeremy tonight: Allie Beth Stuckey — host of Relatable, New York Times bestselling author of Toxic Empathy, and the person Hillary Clinton spent six thousand words attacking by name. David Limbaugh — lawyer, nationally syndicated columnist, author of ten NYT bestsellers, five of which are on Christian apologetics, including Jesus on Trial. And Frank Turek — founder of CrossExamined.org, author of I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist — a man who came to evangelical Christianity from Catholicism through the power of evidence, and who's been carrying that evidence onto hostile college campuses for more than thirty years. 00:00 – James Talarico and the Weaponization of Christianity 10:30 – Should Christians Vote on Character or Policy? 18:47 – Trump, Evangelicals, and the Hypocrisy Charge 27:33 – Love vs. Approval: Has the Right Lost Its Witness? 44:11 – Catholics, Evangelicals, and Coalition Politics 1:04:42 – Why Young People Are Leaving Evangelicalism for Catholicism 1:17:05 – Sola Scriptura vs. the Magisterium 1:32:29 – Mormons, Muslims, and Who Can Be Saved 1:51:00 – The Demonic Battle After Charlie Kirk's Murder 2:21:10 – What Christians Owe This Moment: The Truth of the Gospel

Thomas Massie posted a poll on X in which over 85% of respondents said Israel is a greater threat to liberty in America than China, Russia, or Iran. Half the right is dismissing it as a bot artifact. The other half is treating it as gospel. Both are wrong — and tonight Jeremy unpacks why with three guests who study this exact machine for a living. Jeremy is joined by investigative journalist Lee Smith (The Plot Against the President, The China Matrix), political scientist Wilfred Reilly (Hate Crime Hoax), and investigative journalist, and founder of NPOV Ashley Rindsberg— three guys who, between them, have probably done more to dissect how false narratives actually get made, distributed, and believed in this country than anyone out there. They’ll get into the Massie poll and what representative samples actually show; the bot problem on X and what it means for public discourse and opinion; what Massie’s primary loss means for the next five elections; how and why a troubling number of people believe Candace Owens should be president; what a public that's stopped demanding evidence means for the future of the country; and more on tonight’s The Jeremy Boreing Show Wednesday LIVE. 00:00:02 – Thomas Massie's Loss & What It Reveals About Gen Z 00:02:33 – Foreign Propaganda & Why Americans Are Vulnerable 00:08:05 – Social Proof, Anonymous Influence & Manufactured Consent 00:16:56 – Russiagate, Domestic Propaganda & Broken Institutions 00:28:11 – The Manosphere, Loneliness & the Search for Meaning 00:38:20 – Gen Z, Religion & the Turn Away from American Christianity 00:48:39 – Anti-Semitism, Conspiracy Thinking & the Cult of Secret Knowledge 00:53:47 – Technology, Secularization & the Perfect Storm 01:00:17 – Building vs. Burning: How Do We Rebuild Institutions? 01:36:26 – The Death of Journalism & Conservative Media's Failures 01:47:45 – Final Question: One Thing You'd Change to Save the Country

The internet has handed the human race an old tool with a new edge: the power to form a mob in seconds, choose a scapegoat by lunchtime, and feel the sweet relief of expulsion before dinner. Jeremy sits down with one of the most consequential builders of modern Catholic media to ask what kind of spiritual force is actually moving through our feeds — and what it costs the people wielding it. Jeremy is joined by Father Steve Grunow, the executive director of Word on Fire — the apostolate he has built alongside Bishop Robert Barron over the last 25 years into the preeminent Catholic media institution in the world. A priest of nearly three decades, a former competitive bodybuilder, and a media operator who has spent his entire career at the intersection of evangelism and technology, Fr. Steve brings both the pulpit and the boardroom to a conversation about the spiritual stakes of the internet age. They get into: René Girard's scapegoating mechanism and why it has metastasized inside social media; the corrupting effect of influence on those who reach for it; the satanic logic of wielding dark forces like antisemitism for clicks; the 60-year civil war inside the Catholic Church and why it has weakened the Church's immune system; the uniquely American ecumenical alliance between Catholics, Jews, and evangelical Protestants and why it is now under threat; the grotesquerie of weaponized “Christ is King” content; the rise of Catholic LARPing and a new Pharisaism online; the cultural revolution of 2016 as a false-prophet moment, with Wokism on its tripod of racialism, queer identitarianism, and sex-war feminism; the wave of young men flooding back into the Catholic Church; the bodybuilder priest and what the gym taught him about evangelism; and finally the triumph of the Lamb. 00:00 Are We Living in an Antichrist Moment? 00:48 Is Media a Tool for Evangelism? 03:29 René Girard, Scapegoating, and the Online Mob 09:00 The Roman Roads, the Gospel, and the Devil Watching 16:59 Two Kingdoms, Two Banners 31:26 Influence, Ego, and the Corrosion of Power 39:39 Wielding Dark Spiritual Forces — Antisemitism for Clicks 43:41 The Catholic Civil War and America's Ecumenical Exception 53:45 Saved by “The Wrong Blood” 1:00:20 What Beauty Really Is — and Why It's Being Destroyed 1:17:07 Catholic LARPing and the “Christ Is King” Grotesquerie 1:38:19 The Revival, the False Prophet of 2016, and the Triumph of the Lamb

A lot of people are worried about what AI is going to do to us. The new technologies, as Jeremy puts it in this episode, invoke in all of us a kind of awe and wonder on the one hand, and a kind of fear of the future on the other. Both reactions deserve serious people taking them seriously. Jeremy is joined by Patrick Wood, founder of Citizens for Free Speech, who has been researching the Trilateral Commission since 1978 and co-wrote two volumes on it with the late Professor Anthony Sutton, and Courtenay Turner, his co-author on Final Betrayal and host of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. Together they make the case that an unaccountable technocratic class has captured the second Trump administration, that constitutional self-government is at risk, and that the AI buildout is the infrastructure for what comes next. Jeremy hears them out — Elon Musk, Curtis Yarvin, the dark enlightenment, JD Vance’s post-liberalism, the Genius Act and stablecoin tokenization, what Trump is doing in Gaza. But he also tells them where he disagrees: he pushes back on what he calls the "unified field theory" of the elite, he says he doesn’t fear the technology itself, and he makes the theological case for why there will never be a sentient AI. They get into: what "technocracy" actually meant when it was coined in 1937; the Brzezinski-to-Rockefeller intellectual through-line; Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and the dark enlightenment’s anti-democratic vision; the Highland Rim project and Christian-nationalist network states; the Genius Act and the road to stablecoin tokenization; the proposed natural asset companies and the $126 trillion blockchain announcement; Trump’s Board of Peace, World Liberty Financial, and the Gaza experiment; JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and the post-liberal Catholic-integralist orbit; the printing press and what disruptive technology actually does to a civilization; and the two forces Jeremy calls the most powerful on this plane of existence — God’s sovereignty and self-interest. 00:00 Has a Technocratic Elite Replaced Our Constitution? 01:35 What Technocracy Actually Is 08:11 The Strongest Case for Rule by Experts 15:34 The Dark Enlightenment, Nick Land, and Curtis Yarvin 29:33 Tokenization and the End of Ownership 45:01 Why I Don’t Buy the Unified Field Theory 57:58 Why There Will Never Be a Sentient AI 01:02:13 The Printing Press Argument 01:09:29 Trump, JD Vance, and the Post-Liberal Right 01:38:13 Hope for the Future 01:50:32 God’s Sovereignty and Self-Interest

Last week, Christina Buttons told me our culture is "deeply biased against agency." She's right. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. The left has spent two decades teaching young people that they are prisoners of systemic forces too large to fight. The populist right has spent the last few years teaching the same people that they are victims of a stolen inheritance, robbed by enemies who must be named and destroyed. The packaging is different. The product is the same — the relief of not being responsible, and the warm, addictive feeling of having someone to blame. It is poison — for individuals, and for republics. In this monologue Jeremy gets into what agency actually means, why Tucker Carlson's recent attack on Ben Shapiro is a perfect window into what the populist right is selling, and why the data on human flourishing — from the Harvard Study of Adult Development to Raj Chetty's mobility research to Viktor Frankl's observations from the concentration camps — all points the same direction: the belief that your choices matter is one of the strongest predictors of whether your life goes well. Jeremy also gets into René Girard's scapegoat mechanism, why the rising antisemitism on both the left and the right has the exact shape Girard predicted, why every revolution premised on perfecting man has produced mass graves, and why Jordan Peterson's most-mocked piece of advice — clean your room — is the operational definition of agency. And Jeremy tells us what we actually do about it. Marry the right person. Go to church. Serve your community. Work hard. Refuse, every single day, to accept the role of the victim. The country is you and three hundred million other people who are each doing the same calculation about whether their own life is worth taking responsibility for. If enough of us decide it is, the country gets fixed. #Agency #TuckerCarlson #BenShapiro #JordanPeterson #Conservatism 00:00 — Agency: the most unfashionable idea in politics 01:14 — The Harvard Study, Raj Chetty, and the Shapiro–Carlson fight 06:35 — Learned helplessness and Viktor Frankl 09:44 — The left's victimhood and the right's victimhood 12:23 — René Girard, scapegoats, and where the playbook always ends 20:38 — The most important thing Jordan Peterson ever said 23:32 — The victim identity is a transfer of power 27:23 — The 1950s myth and "bad policy isn't an excuse for a bad life" 30:00 — Adam, Eve, and the original denial of agency 31:33 — Six rules to rule the world

Last night Candace Owens dropped a 236-claim response video aimed at Jeremy. Tonight, Jeremy and the panel–featuring Shabbos Kestenbaum, Ami Kozak, and Billy Hallowell–unpack exactly why she did it that way — and why no amount of "evidence" she manufactures will ever satisfy the audience she's built. The trick isn't proof. It's preponderance. And it's the same trick Tucker Carlson is running, the same trick the groypers are running, and the same trick that 2010-era chain emails about Walmart concentration camps were running before any of these people had a microphone. Jeremy is joined by Billy Hallowell, CBN host, author of Fault Lines, and director of the new documentary CBN Supernatural; Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Orthodox Jewish Harvard antisemitism plaintiff and a Gen Z voice tracking the woke right from inside it; and Ami Kozak, the Jewish creator and culture critic who's been naming the conduct, not just debating the points. They get into Candace's 236-allegation gish gallop and why it's designed to be unanswerable; the "wine mom" cohort smearing Erika Kirk and inventing massage-tear conspiracies; Tucker Carlson as a "confusion artist" deliberately disorienting his viewers; the woke right vs. the woke left and why Gen Z men are the target market; Obama's institutional capture and Trump's permission structure for being our worst selves; why Jeremy fired Candace and would burn the company down to do it again; the "authority transfer" that happens when audiences catch institutions lying; the Afghan soldier who thought the moon was the size of a golf ball; Marco Rubio's surprisingly optimistic White House moment; the federal officials who briefed pastors on extraterrestrial "disclosure"; Jeremy's own unspoken supernatural experience; and why conspiracy theories are comfort food in a chaotic world. 00:00 “Hey guys!” 02:56 Candace's 236-Claim Response Video 19:07 The Wine Moms Smearing Erika Kirk 26:06 Why Gen Z Will Surprise Everyone 39:35 Obama Broke the Institutions, Trump Broke the Manners 52:38 "I Fired Candace.

Anti-Zionism on the left and the right in America today is a kind of envy — envy of a country that still has permission to define itself, defend itself, and have a future. That's the opening claim Alana Newhouse makes to Jeremy Boreing in this two-hour conversation about Zionism, American identity, and the cultural project of believing in tomorrow. Jeremy sits down with Alana Newhouse — founder and editor-in-chief of Tablet Magazine, author of the breakout essays "Everything Is Broken," "Brokenness," and "Zionism for Everyone" — for a wide-ranging conversation that uses Israel as a lens for diagnosing what's wrong with America. They get into culture as a "mixing board" (race is loud in Japan, irrelevant in Israel — every culture calibrates differently); America's twin tethers of capitalism and covenant; the four questions Alana says every country has to be able to answer (are your people happy? do they have babies? can they defend themselves? are they future-oriented?); Tucker Carlson's truth-and-lie about Israel and the black pill industrial complex aimed at demoralizing Americans; the Artemis splashdown, the F-15 weapons officer rescue in Iran, and "what are the machines for?"; Alana's four-bucket framework for any institution (conserve, reform, destroy, build new); why she's drawn to leaders like Modi and Milei but skeptical of Orban and "Make America Great Again"; the original meaning of ethnos (it's not bloodline, it's the music a people make together); why anti-Semitism is a symptom and not a cause; and the fertility hiccup, the Gen X reckoning, and the case that creation itself is an act of optimism. Not a defense of Israeli policy. Not a brief against the contemporary right. A clinical, hopeful argument that the formula that built Israel — particularism plus pragmatism plus idealism — is exportable, and that the future belongs to whoever shows up to build it. 00:00 Anti-Zionism Is Just Envy 05:14 America's Twin Tethers — Capitalism and Covenant 12:22 The "Mixing Board" — Why Cultures Have to Be Different 25:17 The Zionism Formula and the 4 Questions Every Country Must Answer 31:59 What Tucker Carlson Got Wrong About Israel 36:30 The Black Pill Trap and the Lost Faith in the Moon Landing 45:00 Why Alana Built Tablet — Creation as an Act of Optimism 56:35 The Right's Failure on Social Media (and Why AI Is Next) 1:03:22 The 4 Buckets: Conserve, Reform, Destroy, Build New 1:21:39 When Ethnos Goes Wrong — and Why the Nation-State Still Wins 1:28:11 Modi, Milei, Orban — Looking for Joy in World Leaders 1:34:05 The Artemis Diver and the F-15 Rescue: "What Are the Machines For?" 1:46:09 Anti-Semitism Is a Symptom, Not a Cause 1:49:02 Fertility, Gen X, and the Hiccup We Have to Correct

Saturday night's third assassination attempt on Donald Trump produced a thirty-second video of Erika Kirk weeping and asking to go home — and split the country in two. Half saw a young widow retraumatized seven months after Charlie Kirk's public assassination. The other half decided she was performing. Same pixels. Two opposite perceptions. Like 2015's viral "Dress”—except what's implicated isn't visual perception. It's moral perception. Jeremy Boreing makes the case that the cruelty being directed at Erika Kirk is not "trolling." It is the natural, predictable output of a fifty-year cultural project that elevated, organized, monetized, and amplified toxic femininity — the negative feminine of gossip, exclusion, and reputational destruction — while systematically dismantling positive masculinity and every institution that previously held those instincts in check. The result is an emergent matriarchy that Candace Owens once called "hellish" — but Candace is now its main promulgator, running the most flagrant toxic-feminine pile-on in modern conservative media: a gnostic conspiracy ritual dressed up as a true crime docuseries called Bride of Charlie. Jeremy walks the data: women's self-reported happiness in continuous decline since the 1970s; the lowest U.S. fertility rate in recorded history; 70% of divorces initiated by wives, almost none for cause of abuse; female-majority institutions — K–12 education, HR, higher education — becoming dramatically less tolerant of dissent; the FIRE study showing male students are more tolerant of their political enemies than female students are of their own allies. He works through the literary archetypes — Medea, Jezebel, Lady Macbeth, Dolores Umbridge — and the academic research on relational aggression that confirms what those stories already knew. He names the men who've built the manosphere economy on the rubble (Andrew Tate, Dan Bilzerian) and explains why neither feminism's emergent matriarchy nor the trad movement's larped patriarchy is the answer. Not a call to disenfranchise women. Not a defense of toxic masculinity. An argument that the answer to a bad cultural project is the slow, voluntary recovery of complementary masculine and feminine virtues — and that wicked men can only ever be constrained by good men.

Jeremy is joined by three men who've each built their work around a different answer to the same question: what does masculinity actually look like when it isn't being sold to you by manosphere grifters? John Lovell (Warrior Poets Society) brings a decade of teaching men to be fully warrior and fully poet. Gates Garcia (We The People) brings the view from college campuses and the millennial mirror. Pavel (Be a Man With Me) brings the voice of an immigrant who noticed something was missing from American masculinity— and occasionally carries a machete. They get into the manosphere and why Pavel calls it “porn for masculinity.”; toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, and the generation of Gen Z men caught between them; why men need male friends (and why your wife can't be one of them); the 15-degree phenomenon; Pavel's machete at the gas station; the institutional collapse that makes Gen Z the hardest generation in American history to date in; and the practical advice none of these guys are monetizing: ask a woman on a date, show up early to work, get off social media, and find out what “Till We Have Faces” actually means. 00:00 Introducing Pavel, Gates, and John — Three Actual Men 04:43 Warrior AND Poet: 100% Both, Not 50/50 10:08 How We Got Here — 9/11, MeToo, the iPhone, and Covid 14:00 Lion of Judah vs. “Gay Jesus” — How the Church Went Soft 20:23 Toxic Masculinity, Male Suicide, and the Silent Heroes 24:00 Why a Man Needs Male Friends (The Waitress Problem) 34:15 Sports, Wrestling, and the Missing Rites of Passage 42:00 Toxic Femininity Is the Bigger Problem — And the Paradox That Fixes It 48:40 Pavel, the Machete, and the Gas Station Story 01:04:30 Why Gen Z Actually Has It Worse Than Any Generation Before 01:12:26 The 15-Degree Phenomenon: Why Women Need to Look Up 01:18:30 Practical Advice: Ask Her Out, Show Up Early, Get Off Social Media
